Ruben Studdard News, Pictures, and Videos

The premiere of American Idol season 14 is happening TONIGHT (January 7) at 8/7c on Fox and in celebration, we are taking a look back at the top ten best selling contestants of all time.

As you may have predicted, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood rank above everyone else, but you may be surprised at how many albums some of the non-winners have sold!

This year, returning judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick Jr. are hoping to find an artist that will take a place among the ranks of this list. We’ll have to follow along closely over the next five months to see who comes out victorious.

Last month, the show released a mysterious video with the voices of this year’s top 24 contestants, though we aren’t able to see any of their faces.

Former American Idol winner Ruben Studdard will be competing on the upcoming fall edition of The Biggest Loser, according to People.

The 34-year-old singer will appear on the fifteenth season of the hit NBC reality show starring trainers Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels, and Dolvett Quince.

“I’ve never had an issue with my weight,” Ruben has previously told the mag. “[But] my family has a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart-related issues – things I didn’t have to deal with yet because I’m young. But I don’t want to be worried at 40, and if I don’t fix things now, I will be.”

The 31-year-old singer and fellow American Idol alum Ruben Studdard are teaming up for a summer tour beginning in July!

The final two from Idol‘s season two will perform both separately and together and promise to bring surprise guests along for shows! Ruben and Clay are reportedly planning to sing favorite classic songs.

“I couldn’t ask for a better tour mate. To be able to share the stage with him again is so exciting,” Clay said in a statement (via Billboard).
